Well it all depends. If you are "exploring" (Scanning) realtime
charts, then it will TAKE A LOT LONGER, than if they were locally
stored on the local computer.
See. The best strategy would be to somehow download the stocks into
the PC locally and the scan (Exploration) time will be dramatically
reduced. Scanning about 6700 securities should not take more than 2
minutes.. Scaning 13,000 securities should not take even 10 minutes
(assuming that you are scanning local folders)..
Hope this helps,
